Back to the Track Pick-4 and Dueling Doubles; New York State Fair Races

Saturday night, Back to the Track has some special wagers available.  With the help of the USTA, the Meadowlands, Yonkers, Northfield Park, and Balmoral Park have gotten together to offer a special Back to the Track Pick-4 with a $50,000 guaranteed pool.  In addition, Tioga Downs and Monticello Raceway have joined together to offer four Dueling Doubles where bettors will need to select the winner of a specified race at Tioga and Monticello.  Each of these wagers will be handled separately from the regular track offerings.  The Dueling Doubles will be made available to customers who don't make it to the track.  We will look at both of these wagers to assist you in making your selections.

New York State Fair Races
Lsat night, the New York State Fair races got underway at Vernon Downs to kick-off a weekend of racing at Vernon and Tioga Downs.  These races, along with the Zweig Memorial used to be held at the Syracuse Fairgrounds.  When they discontinued racing at the Syracuse Mile, Jeff Gural agreed to take over these races.  These races tend to be competitive and feature some of the better horses currently racing.  Here is my analysis of the New York State Fair races being held Friday and Saturday.  Lastly, for those who are taking advantage of Tioga Downs low takeout rates, my selections for the Friday and Saturday evening cards follow at the end.
